Supreme Court skeptical of attempt to limit access to abortion pill mifepristone. Both conservative and liberal judges were skeptical that the litigants have a legal basis for wanting to stop access to the drug.
The pill is used in more than 60% of abortions in the United States. More than 6 million people have used the drug in medical abortions, up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. The scene outside the Supreme Court was lively Tuesday morning, with protesters occupying the streets and groups from both sides chanting.
